The 1970 Miss Goldsboro pa

Our Times*’was presentedSat-

Miss Goldsboro 1969, Mary
Louise Schweikert Douglass,
Miss Goldsboro 1940 was also
present. Miss North Carolina
1968, Sally Stedman served as
the Mistress of Ceremonies.
Before the pageant, Jimmy Ay-
cock and The Melodalres pro
vided various instrumental se
lections to set the mood of the
pageant. Escorts for the con
testants were officers from
Seymour Johnson Air Force
Base.
As the lights lowered, the
curtain rose and the tense ex
citement came into full swing.
For the opening, the contestants .
were dressed in modern fash
ions and dancing away their
nerves.
Wayne Community College
was represented very well by
Misses Dianne Butler, Susan
Botts, Diane Kornegay and
Mary Francis Taylor, who
completed her reign by crown
ing Miss Butler, the new Miss
Goldsboro 1970. Miss Botts
was honored by being chosen
The Most Talented Non-Final
ist. Miss Kornegay made a fine
contestant and in the talent divi
sion she sung “I Believe."
Miss Butler presented a lively
song from the Musical “Flower
Drum Song” entitled "I Enjoy
Being A Girl." Miss Botts
presented an original dance
styled after Isadore Duncan
to the love song from the pro
duction “Romeo and Juliet.”
The nine contestants were
presented in the Swimsuit com
petition on a mock beach scene
complete with large beach um
brellas and dates.
Miss Butler gave an attrac
tive picture of a swimming
beauty in her sharp green suit.
This portion is the one most
dreaded by the contestants, but
they seemed to flatwithabeauty
queen’s smile down the endless
ramp.
Miss Patsy Jonnson, the
reigning Miss North Carolina,
presented a very beautiful se
lection from Porgy and Bess
entitled, “Sum'nertime ”
This same song had previously
won her many honors such as
the top talent award last June
in the state pageant. Her next
selection was “What A Day This
Has Been.” The radiant Miss
Johnson set a very thrilling
mood for the audience with
these flawless performances.
She is truly a queen with her
gracefullness and elegance
shining throu^.
The talent competition was
unusual and delightful. Miss
Butler's perfected perform
ance was exciting and done as
though she was a professional
entertainer that had had all his
nerves removed. Theaudience
was captured in the happy-go-
lucky presentation. This will
surely be a great credit at the
State pageant in June for Miss
Butler. Miss Bott’s, the only
contestant that danced, was
graceful and flowed to the Ro
meo and Juliet love song. Miss
Kornegay’s song “I Believe”
brou^t out many of Miss Kor-
negay’s own personal thoughts
about life. Miss Linda Silver,
the first negro contestant in
a Miss Goldsboro Pageant
left the audience on the edges
of their seats and ab^lutely
speechless. She presented an
original drama with ,modern
dance movements entitled
“Nightmare, 20& Century.”
Flashing lights, screams of
terror and cries of helpless
ness showed. What is really
going on with some Americans
in our day and time. Miss Sil
ver is a student atBennettCol-
lege. Miss Patricia Bass sang
“As Long As He Needs Me”
from the recent Broadway mu
siclal “Oliverl” Miss Bass
previously attended Wayne
Community College. MissVir-
ginia Bradford sang “You Ain’t
Woman Enough To Take My
Man” with guitar accompani
ment. Miss Chloe Crawford,
a student at. East Carolina Uni
versity, did a skit on “The Birth
of the Blues.” Miss Lillie Rose
Smith, a graduate of New Hope
Hl^ school, sang “I Gave My
Love a Cherry.” Miss Carolyn
Lea, a student at Mount Olive
College played “Deep Purple”
for her talent. One contestant,
Miss Joy Wanda Hicks became
ill and was not able to be in the
pageant.
The curtain came up again
with the nine contestants infor
mal gowns dancing with their
Seymour J<*nson escorts
around a Ballroom complete
with decorations of greenery,
a colorful fountain and a hang
ing glittered ornamental ball.
The contestants were majestic
and a little more excited in tte
next to the last portion'of com
petition.
Mary Francis Taylor enter
tained the audience with the en-
chanting song “Born Free.”
After coaxing Jaycee Ben
Strickland onto the stage,
they sang “Let It Be Me” to
gether. Miss Taylor looked
more beautiful than ever as the
beautiful memories flew
though her mind while she sang
to her “LoyalSubjects”forher
final time as Miss Goldsboro
1969.
Miss Sally Stedman suddenly
realized that she was next on
the program! In haste a Jaycee
handed her the guitar case in
stead of her guitar. Once set
tled she sang “Scarborou^
Fair” and “Dona pona.” This
presentation show^ the au--
<iienc« what great talent' she
has and why she won The Most
Talented;'Musician Award in
the Miss America Pageant in
1968.
“Miss Congeniality” is an
award given to the contestant
that was most hel^tul and fri
endly during the many days the
girls worked together. The
contestants vote for this and
Miss Pat Bass was the winner
of the great honor.
With tears hard to hold back
and blinding, Miss Taylor said
good-bye and gave many thanks
to the many people that had
made her year so very beauti
ful. Most of the audience was
in tears with her as she walked
down the ramp for the last time

huge velvet throne.
As the three finalists were
announced tears began flowing
with joy. The three finalists
were Miss Butler, Miss Sil
ver and Miss Bass. Unable
to believe that It had happen
ed to them their nerves seem
ed to still be bidden but the
excitement was not.
The most difficult part of the
competition are the quesUons
that the contestants have to an
swer off-hand. Miss Butler's
question as “As a member of
the younger generation, can you
give the members of the older
generation some words of ad
vice as to how to handle the
generation gap they mi^t be
experiencing?” As though she
had thought for hours what the
best answer would be. Miss
Butler intelligently replied, “I
would tell anyone of the older
generation \idtli the problem
that you can not judge> person
by looking at his face' value.
You must look past tl» exter>k;

Goldsboro walked down the
ramp toward a standing ova
tion that she well deserved,
tears were everywhere. True-
ly a beautifyl, talented young
lady with a beautiful personality

tain after the pageant was ov
er photographers had a time
trying to get Miss Butler's
picture without tears. They
finally gave up, she was to
full of happiness as were her
many friends that had been
there cheering her on to vic
tory.
